On my system (well the one with the CD-RW), the ide-scsi code is
compiled into the kernel. I use
append "hda=ide-scsi"
in my lilo to make sure that only this device is moved to scsi space.
Maybe one of the e-smith guys can talk about the "e-smith way"?

It is essential for CDRW with the cdrecord tool (which is under most of
the GUIs), and I've used it with good results.
I don't have a tape drive yet, so not sure about this.
